About AXIS Capital Holdings

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

AXIS Capital Holdings is based in Pembroke. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker AXS. The SEC classifies its business as fire, marine & casualty insurance.

In its own words

Unless otherwise noted, tabular dollars are in thousands. Amounts may not reconcile due to rounding differences.

AXIS is a global specialty underwriter and provider of insurance and reinsurance solutions with operations in Bermuda, the United States ("U.S."), Europe, Singapore, and Canada. Our underwriting operations are organized around our global underwriting platforms, AXIS Insurance and AXIS Re.

The markets in which we operate have historically been cyclical. During periods of reduced underwriting capacity, pricing, and policy terms and conditions are generally more favorable for insurers and reinsurers. Conversely, during periods of excess underwriting capacity, defined by the availability of capital, competition can result in lower pricing and less favorable policy terms and conditions for insurers and reinsurers. Historically, underwriting capacity has been impacted by a range of factors, including systemic risks such as industry losses and catastrophes, as well as changes in legal, regulatory and rating agency guidelines, investment results, and the financial strength and ratings of competitors.
